Abstract

Play contributes fundamentally to the development of intellectual, emotional and motor skills. Children show trough it their experiences, needs and conflicts. Play therapy seeks an environment of trust, understanding, respect and responsibility, where they express their problems while playing, creating a relationship that addresses the shortcomings of their personal and family circumstances, facilitating the development of personality and the progressive acquisition of personal and social maturity.
